The axion solves three mysteries of the universe
Mar 10, 2020 (Nanowerk News) A hypothetical particle called the axion could solve one of physics' great mysteries: the excess of matter over antimatter, or why we're here at all. According to the Standard Model of particle physics, when our universe was born, the meeting of matter and antimatter should...

A new template for nonspherical viral nanocage
Feb 28, 2020 (Nanowerk News) In nature, viruses use nanocages to protect their genome. Some of these viruses can be disassembled into protein units to remove their genome. These protein units can then be reassembled into nanocages by other templates, the so-called virus-like particles. For her PhD thesis, University of...
